Creamy tomato pasta

Ingredients

• 350 g pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 100 ml cooking cream
• 40 g grated Parmesan
• Salt, black pepper, and dried oregano

Method

1. Cook the pasta in well-salted water until just tender. Reserve a mug of pasta water before draining.
2. Heat the olive oil in a wide pan. Cook the onion with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes, then add the garlic.
3. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and oregano, then simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Lower the heat and stir in the cream and Parmesan.
5. Add the drained pasta. Toss well, loosening the sauce with a splash of pasta water when needed.
6. Taste, season, and serve with extra Parmesan and black pepper.

Add a handful of spinach with the cream if you have some waiting in the fridge.
